Feet Numbing/No Pain

I'm a 64 yr old female with diabetes. However, I'm not sure that this is related to the diabetes since it was happening before I was diagnosed with the diabetes. One of my feet, either one or the other but not both at the same time, will lose it's feeling, like falling asleep. I ***k it immediately to get the feeling back. It comes back immediately but keeps doing it over and over, the episodes within seconds of each other. It only happens when I'm sitting or lying down and will last for hours. It doesn't hurt but is awful since I can't sleep and ***k my feet for hours. Anyone else have this problem? I would love to know what causes it. Thanks.
